They only implemented those in bedrock edition, available in the MS store... I'd rather they add it into Java edition so us Linux gamers can use them, and not tie them exclusively with NVidia

Mojang's "stealing" started from at least the pistons in 2011, 3 years before the acquisition. Credit was given to the original mod author under "Additional programming", and they did reuse the actual code from the mod

I don't think it's fair to call that stealing, for multiple reason:

  • copyright of game mechanics should never be supported, if we serioussly consider this stealing then a lot of innovation will be completely hampered, and videogames will be subject to abuses worse than what exists in other creative industries. Copyright on game concepts would be akin to copyright on camera angles, special effects, etc...
  • mods are only available on PC. Taking ideas from the community and incorporating them into the base game makes the content available for everyone, even vanilla PC players
  • Mojang's has been very decent with OG mod authors, often being assisted by said authors to incorporate their content into the game, see how they worked with the author of Mo' Creatures, a mod for animals, to add the horse into the game

Other people in his exact position were called samurai back then, at least that's what I've read around

ECT is still used nowadays, and it seemed to actually help him, why are you calling this case torture?

I know the procedure is the poster child for psychiatric abuse / malpractice, but I don't think this specific case is reflective of that

Doesn't it mean that you are forbidden from saying God's name for no reason? (YWH)

Maybe because they don't want to send their whole population to the meat grinder?

Two fundamental characteristics of internet memes are creative reproduction and intertextuality. Creative reproduction refers to the adaptation and transformation of a meme through imitation or parody, either by reproducing the meme in a new context ("mimicry") or by remixing the original material ("remix"). In mimicry, the meme is recreated in a different setting, as seen when different individuals replicate the viral video "Charlie Bit My Finger." Remix, on the other hand, involves technological manipulation, such as altering an image with Photoshop, while retaining elements of the original meme.

Intertextuality in memes involves the blending of different cultural references or contexts. An example of this is the combination of U.S. politician Mitt Romney’s phrase “binders full of women” from the 2012 U.S. presidential debate with a scene from the Korean pop song “Gangnam Style.” In this case, the phrase "my binders full of women exploded" is superimposed on a frame from Psy’s music video, creating a new meaning by merging political and cultural references from distinct contexts.

Wikipedia

This has no element of reproduction, nor intertextuality, or am I missing some key element here?

If lemmy did this you'd see forks ripping this out, not to mention anything other than lemmy would not have it, so only a very small subset of the fediverse would be subject to this at all, making it perfectly useless

AFAIK you can't overdose b12, but in any case I'd follow a doctor's advice

Well then the concept of declaration of war you're presenting is worth jack shit since the US has ravaged countries for decades after 1942

All it means is that congress' approval is not needed to wage war, so this threat is way closer to a declaration than what you estimate

 

This new bill, signed into law by President Joe Biden, includes a provision that limits access to gender-affirming care services for the children of people serving in the military.
